Dude...I am soooo freakin glad it's Friday. I am in one of those moods today where you want to be anywhere but work. It is a half day for me though so I am just counting down until I can get out of here and enjoy this nice weather. It should reach the 70's today and boy oh boy am I excited. I hope to go for a nice run today after work. I still plan on going to the Y to do some weights/intervals but getting some sun is first priority. I feel so much better when I get some much needed rays. My mom is coming to visit tomorrow and so I need to pack in the works outs as best as I can today and tomorrow morning. I started off today with some odd ball things. I couldn't help myself. For some reason Fridays become a free for all lately. I went with what my gut wanted and I am glad that I did ;)
The Raw Bakery™ produces raw, sprouted, super foods. All of our nuts and seeds have gone through the Better-than-Roasted™ process, which means that they have been soaked, sprouted and dehydrated. This process removes digestive inhibitors that are naturally occurring in all nuts, seeds and grains, resulting in a tastier product. The BTR™ process makes our foods easier to digest, which means that your body gets the most nutrition possible from these yummy foods. I have had this baby in my fridge for a few days and knew that it would be sooooo good with my coffee this morning. For some odd reason...I wanted chocolate as soon as I woke up this morning. I dont know why ;)

After coffee and sweets I was buzzing around the office. I have been under the weather for almost a week now and I just decided this morning. No more. Fake it til you make it. I am faking it but it is working! After a few hours this was had.
12:00 p.m. Chobani peach yogurt with Kaia raw granola....Ummm can you say peach cobbler? Yep. That is what I was thinking the whole time I was eating this. My sweet tooth is out of control today. Just you wait.

I put the eggplant headband on and off to the gym I went. It was a shoulder day so I really pushed it and did 60 minutes of intervals plus shoulders in between. I got off work today early and didn't have to go back so I didn't care how sweaty I got.
When I got home this was consumed promptly. 
Electrolytes I now know is my friend. I gulped this down and immediately felt better. I think that every ounce of water that was in me was on the gym floor when I left today. This worked it's magic in a matter of minutes! After about 30 minutes my tum tum was like "Jeeze girlfriend, put some fuel in me!" I obeyed the calling.

Raw veggies and hummus. I loved this cool refreshing lunch. I am loving raw foods right now. During the Spring and Summer it is so much easier for me to eat this way.
I have no idea what will be for dinner. It is Friday and I plan to meet up with a friend for dinner somewhere. I will have to wait and see what happens. I hope you all have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend! I will follow-up with you all on Monday morning with the visit that my Mom is paying me. It should be FUN!
See ya!
